Interactive Distance Education
     
 

Synchronous Platform

Synchronous delivery of subject curricula is achieved using video conferencing hardware to conduct H.323 video conferencing and Microsoft Netmeeting software for T.120 application sharing over the Internet2 infrastructure.

A dual screen setup consisting of a “video screen” and “computer screen” is available in all the SMA classrooms. The “video screen” comprises of content from various cameras in the classroom including the presenter, students, chalkboard/whiteboard and visualiser. The “computer screen” displays all computer-based materials such as PowerPoint slides, animations, simulations and other software used by the faculty in the classroom.

Integrating the video and computer content provides a realistic learning environment, which enables both faculties and students from MIT, NTU and NUS to interact without having to be present in the same location.
